Lincoln - Immediate Assistance needed

<< < (2/3) > >>

NENick:
How many of us were able to make it?

AAllen:
I heard from 4-6 members that they were going, and them and several more were contacting friends to also try to get them there.  If we could get 6 people to an event like this on just over an hours notice that is a big thing, and believe me that the Senator and his staff have noticed and recognize the support.

bkoenig:
I just found out about this.  How did it go? 

NE Bull:
Sorry BK, somehow I skipped over your number in my Emergency 2A Rally list ;)
I know for sure RobertH, wallace11bravo, and myself were in attendance.

I thought, from a Firearm Rights standpoint, it went well.  There was one fella ('a gun owner and hunter') that berated the senator over his votes against the expanded background checks (some applause).  Senator Johanns barely batted an eye and told him this is one issue they would have to agree to disagree on.(Rousing Applause)  I appreciated that the senator took what time he could to explain that the bill was far more reaching than simple background checks.  He also stated that as he made no bones about his support for the Second Amendment during his election bid, he believes his stance is that of the people that elected him. 
As we left, we thanked him for his support of the 2A on behalf of the NFOA.   (Then Robert punched me for 'stealing his line' ;) then proceeded to ruin my 'diet' by draggin' us to some greasy burger joint.  For follow-up discussions, of course. ) 

AAllen:
Sounds like the supporters made their point.  Again thanks to everyone for attending on such short notice.
